NVIDIA Advanced Rendering

Plugin Products Transition

To bring AI and further GPU acceleration to graphics, NVIDIA continues to significantly focus on developing SDKs and technologies for software development partners who create professional ray tracing products. With this emphasis, NVIDIA has made product development changes around the Iray and Mental Ray plugin products.

NVIDIA IRAY PLUGIN PRODUCTS

NVIDIA has transferred the sales and support of the Iray plugin products—Iray for 3ds Max, Iray for Maya, Iray for Rhino, and Iray Server—to the Iray integration partners, Lightworks, migenius, and 0x1 software.

Any new and renewal licenses can be purchased from our partners. To learn more about licensing terms and product details, visit www.irayplugins.com.

NVIDIA IRAY FOR CINEMA 4D

NVIDIA Iray for Cinema 4D is no longer developed as a plugin software product and is not available for new license purchases from November 20, 2017 onward. NVIDIA continues to support all existing customers through the end of their subscription period, ending November 19, 2018.

Current customers who have purchased a subscription of Iray for Cinema 4D can contact us for support during the transition and request a license extension. Details can be found in the FAQ about how to request this extension.

NVIDIA MENTAL RAY

NVIDIA will no longer offer new subscriptions to the Mental Ray plugins for Maya and 3ds Max, as well as Mental Ray Standalone from November 20, 2017 onward.
